Description

The 16 x 8 Shire Lela Summerhouse offers a substantial and elongated design, ideal for those with narrow but long garden spaces. This model’s key attraction is its ability to provide a versatile, multi-functional area while maintaining a footprint that fits neatly into more linear spaces.

This summerhouse is bathed in natural light. It features elongated windows, creating a warm and inviting environment perfect for various uses, from a home office to a leisure retreat. The premium shiplap timber construction gives it a sleek, contemporary look and ensures durability and effective moisture resistance.

The design incorporates a high pent roof, which enhances the interior’s sense of space and openness. Double doors facilitate easy access and further airiness. These features make the summerhouse feel more like an extension of the home rather than just a garden structure.

Inside, the robust tongue and groove flooring is built to support whatever setup you choose, whether furnishing with sofas and chairs for a relaxing reading nook or equipping with desks and storage for a spacious home office. The 16 x 8 Shire Lela Summerhouse transforms your narrow garden into a practical and stylish haven.
